Atmosphere at carling cup games?

[-V-]

**** that lad.

I want a trip to Wembley and so do all matchgoers I know.

The atmosphere will be ****e, but you'll be able to pick up a ticket for twenty quid outside the ground and it's a great chance to see players you wouldn't usually get a glimpse of.

Out into town afterwards to party with the new Fresher's girls as well!

Fair enough, personally i think its a unwanted distraction. Winning it feels like winning the reserve cup. Nobody remembers the league cup winners. Let the kids deal with it

It's a trophy. I want us to win it.

Besides, I don't think it would be the "kids" that play. I imagine we'll set up something like this....

---------N'gog
----------Keane
El Zhar------------Pennant
------Lucas--Plessis
Aurelio-Agger-Hyppia-Degen
------------GK

There's quality international footballers in that side. We should be able to beat Crewe comfortably with that team.

I'd love to see Pacheco and Nemeth involved.

Maybe one of them instead of Robbie Keane then...

N'gog has to start.

He's starting for the ressies tonight. Last time I looked we were losing 1-0.

absolute cack, you obviously weren't in Cardiff in 2003 to see us beat the mancs, fantastic atmosphere before during and after the game, and I'm guessing you never went in 2005 when Stevie scored what was dubbed at the time his "first goal for chelsea", good atmosphere before and during, especially when Riise scored

I wasn't there in 2001 as I was living abroad at the time but I'm sure that there is more than 1 other person on here who could tell a similar story

Can't see Aurelio playing. Rafa will have him wrapped in cotton wool.
